The Times-UniOn's Associate.

The IdUahasseean is out again with a
new discharge of vicious calumny, fully
proving its fitness as the associate of its
companion in SANDER, the Times Union,
whose infamous charges as to the print
ing section continues to reprint. AS
the one paper is judged by the people so
is the other, and the zal1ahasseea,s could
not select quicker method of business
suicide than by identifying itself
with the journal of the notorious au-
thor of the sold Timer" letter. 1t
is needless to follow our local contempt
rary in all of his falsiications, but in order
to show the utter unreliability of what
he may choose to say we simply cite as a
sample his reiterated assertion that the
controversy was begun by the FLoRIDIAN,
though the town knows, hundreds else
where know, that this is untrue and that
it was begun by quite gratuitous attack
upon u.s. 1t was in brief reply to that
attack that we were forced to notice the
libellous sheet. Has he single reader
who believes what he says because he
says it? The question is before them.

Widespread Dissatisfaction.

The spring elections in Maine have not
afforded much satisfaction to Mr.. Cleve-
land and his Jealous supporters. The re-
turns appear to have nearly wiped out the
remnant of the democratic party left after
the elections last fall. In nearly every
town and city the democracy are in mourn
ing or rampant rebellion at the queer pro-
ceedings OF the administration. TO say
they are indignant Is feebly to express
their feelings. They are mad all through
and are not ashamed or afraid to confess
1t. The following resolutions passed at a
recent democratic caucus at Calais show
the "true inwardness" of the party in this
State. not especially with the Collector
of the Passamaquoddy District" but with
President Cleveland and those who stand
nearest to tho throne.
whereas, Owing to the widespread dissatisfaction
exising in the democratic party In this city. caused
by the course pursued by the Collector of Passama
Quoddy District
Resolved That we, the democratic ,ters in caucu,
assembled, dee m It inexpedient to nominate any
candidate Tor the approaching municipal Election
And so no democratic nomination was
made and the election was allowed to be
carried by tho republicans without oppo
sition just as in Augusta and many Other
places in the State. Yes, it Is very plar
that there is "wide spread dissatisfaction
existing in the democratic party"

JACKSONVILLE. Mar. 20, 1887

JACKSONVILLE. Mar. 30, 1887.
To the Editor of the henne6ee journal;
suppose. in Maine, YOU are having de-
ligh,ful weather, especially under foot at the
present time. The weather has been very
cool here for the past two weeks, so cold that
people have had to don their winter wraps,
and seal,kins, pushes, etc, are the rule
rather than the exception. The city has been
quite full fJr the past few weeks, but the cur
rent is changing, and parties are turning their
faces northward. But still the hotels and
boarding houses are well filled, and probably
will be for some weeks longer. Tn number
of strangers who registered at the hotels here
for the month of February, fell some 5 900
short of the number for the corresponding
month of last year. The demand thus year
has been, not for high priced, toney" hotels,
but for those of more moderate price. The
rates at the Everett, Windsor and St. James
are from So to 81 per diy,while at the smaller
hotels the price ranges from 81 down to -
per day; special rates by the week. There
are two apartment hotels here the Acme and
Oxford-where nicely furnished rooms can
be had, with all modern convenience, at from
% to 81 per week Under each of these
hotels are restaurants which furnish meals at
IS per week. BY adopting this European
plan, the tourist of moderate means can get
along here very comfortably for s. to SIP
per week. There is in process of erection.s
the west end of Bay street. another hotel
containing some Is rooms, which will be run
on the European plan. 1t will be finished in
season for business next fall.
The newspapers, hotel proprietors and
railroad men have been much exercised over
the subject of ''the missing tourist" the past
winter, and the railroad managers at last
held meeting and passed resolutions to the
effect that something must be done, and at
once, or California would scoop" the
Northern and Western tourist, and poor
Florida would be lett out in the cold. They
finally adopted resolution-it came hard
cutting down rates and running cheap excur-
sions from various points of the West and
North But it was too late to do much good,
as the traveller had made his plans for the
season. Next season you will probably see a
hot fight between California amt this State as
to who shall have the best opportunity to
bleed The pocket of the unsophisticated e.,
Yankee.

public mind and which bids fair 10 wax warm

AaxustA. Tuesday Morning. April g..
Coercion in Ireland.

The bill for the coercion of Ireland
brought into the House of Commons last
week is of the most oppressive character.
The speech OF Mr.. Parnell in opposition
to it was powerful and convincing. He
declared that if the government were
given the power set forth in this bill the
result would certainly be wholesale repu-
diatien, and the last defence of the tenants
against wholesale robbery would be re-
moved. He especially denounced the
scheme to bring lrishmen before special
English juries.
The proposal he said meant reign OF
judicial murder. 1t meant that all hopes
of better times which seemed dawning
upon Ireland would disappear; that sys-
TEN of subornation of witnesses and
wholesale perjury before partisan juries
was to prevail. sending innocent persons
to the scaffold and convict's cell.
Secret societies would spring up. fostered
by the sufrerings of an oppressed nation,
and those who had been persistent in
counselllng the people to observe patience
and moderation might counsel in vain.
Mr.. Parnell counseled his countrymen
to exercise moderation, to avoid violence,
and wait in hope for the time when Glad
stone could appeal to the sense OF justice
Of tho English people against this tyran-
nical measure This is good advice. 1t
is hard of course to endure the outrageous
tyranny forced upon Ireland, but patience
moderation. and an appeal to the best SEN
timents OF English people and the world,
will certainly bring around the day of
deliyerance for the oppressed people OF
Ireland.
II is lust such measures as the coercion
bill that will bring on the day of redemp-
ton Every man who has intelligence
and the spirit of a free man Is aroused
against them, and the long auffering peo-
pie find sympathy and assistance coming
to them from far and near. The present
ministry is digging its grave, and when
it has passed away it will be succeeded
by the enlightened and humane policy
advocated and defended by Gladstone
and Parnell. Every true friend of lie
land in America hopes that better days
are soon coming to this oppressed people,
even though tyranny still reigns and lays
heavier burdens upon the brave people
of this downtrodden country.

The Magazines.

The Magazine of American History for
April opens with the critical, racy contribu-

known magazines, on 1.-The Transition

by the well-told story of Governor Spots
woods Horseshoe Campaign. l7l6, as re.
lated to the Romance of Cathay," BY Edward
Ingle, The third chapter is a brief tribute
by the editor to "Henry Ward Beecher,"
whose fine crayon portrait is the appropriate
frontispiece to the number. The several
papers that follow are bright, readable, and
instructive. Frederic G Mather writes of
The First Constitution of the State of New
York" Judge William A. Wood presents in
The Heatberly War" a curious picture of
one significant feature of early Western life ;
Charles II. Peck contributes his third and
concluding paper on "John Van Buren,: A

A. NJ writes Of 1.-The Fall of Fort Duquesne"
Charles Hallock gives some entertaining and
notable facts concerning 1.-The Making of
History in Alaska" and Edmund B. Uuder-
wood. U. s. N, contributes a paper entitled,
"a Hero Of the Far North"
The April Eclectic offers more than it's
usual variety. A seasonable paper is that by
Prince Kropotkin, who discusses "The Scien-
tiic Basis of Anarchy" and elucidates the
philosophy of social revolutionists of the day.
A. G. Bradley is the author of a paper en-
titled 1.-The Doctor: An Old Virginia Fox

a vigorous assertion Of the superiority of the
